Angiosarcoma at dialysis fistula site in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Abstract

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the best permanent access for hemodialysis. Swelling and pain due to thrombosis and infection is common at fistula site. Angiosarcoma is one of rare but important differential diagnosis of these signs. We present a patient on CAPD with angiosarcoma at AVF.
